You’re one of the multitude of people whom I wish I could live with for a month and just soak in all your knowledge. I’ve made itty-bitty crude baskets in classes, but nothing so elegant as these.

Thank you… you will love having your own willow supply. It sounds like we make some very similar things and find the same enjoyment in the process. I really appreciated all your lovely comments. Thanks for taking the time to write!

Your baskets are lovely. I, too, was bitten by the bug and this spring a generous on-line acquaintance is sending me lots of basket willow cuttings so I can begin my own “sally garden.” I collected lots of wild materials in the fall and I’m looking forward to finding the time to experiment with them. Like you, I find using various materials (vines and reed for baskets, yarn for knitting, beeswax for candles, oil for soap, etc., etc.) and creating useful “green” items to be truly satisfying. I’m going to make some of your oatmeal cookies now, but I’ll be back to visit!

It’s nice to find fellow weavers. I always say that weaving puts me in my “happy place”, a feeling we seem to share. I enjoyed reading your blog and will keep checking in on you.
